DOS and Batch Files Copy Command Shortcuts SUMMARY: Save typing when using the DOS COPY command.   To copy files, one would normally type in the following. COPY sourcefilepath\sourcefile(s) destinationfilepath\destionationfile(s) If you are currently in the source file path's directory, you probably know that you can skip that part of the COPY command. What you may not know is that you can do the same if you are in the destination file's path. For example, say you are in the C:\BITMAP directory, and you want to copy all of the BMP files from the A: drive to C:\BITMAP. Instead of typing COPY A:\*.BMP C:\BITMAP You can just type COPY A:\*.BMP   Add: Del.icio.us | Digg | Furl | My Yahoo!   Discuss This Tip Print This Tip Get E-Mail When New Tips are Online Return to the DOS and Batch Files page.
